I wish that you could see us Oh it would cheer your weary heart Oh look what's been done We've torn the whole damn thing apart And I wish that we could tell you It didn't have to be so sad And look what's become Of the tragic life you had CHORUS And now it's all eternally you Now it's all eternally you He didn't want to leave you But a young man must be brave Oh and people will talk And they would rather sin than save But oh your little bright one He has made his way alone The seed of your heart Into a forest grown CHORUS Stand on the shore smother the shame You can do nothing more The tears in you eyes washed by the rain What was the sacrifice for? So final in acceptance In Kilbrennan's sunset night But an old woman dreams She would rather feel than fight I wish that you could see us It would cheer your weary heart Look what's been done We've torn the whole damn thing apart CHORUS
